At Stratstone Porsche, when your vehicle reaches 3 years old, you will automatically be entered into our Service Club loyalty programme which means you can qualify for a free MOT. For more information and full terms & conditions, visit our Service Club page.

There is no set charge as such if your vehicle fails its MOT. If you current MOT is still valid or no 'dangerous' problems were listed in your MOT results then you can still drive your vehicle away as long as it meets the minimum standards of roadworthiness as stated on the Gov.uk website. If this isn't the case however, you will need to get your vehicle repaired before you can drive it or you could be fined up to £2,500 for driving a vehicle with a failed MOT due to a 'dangerous' problem.​

Vehicles that do not need an MOT are tractors, electric goods vehicles registered before 1st March 2015 and some historic cars. So, if you own a classic Porsche that was built or first registered more than 40 years ago or has had no 'substantial changes' made to it in the last 30 years then you do not need to take it for an MOT. If none of these criteria apply, however, then you must take your vehicle for an MOT every year if it is over 3 years old.

There are a whole range of checks done on your vehicle as part of the MOT. Some of these include the brakes and fuel system, seatbelts, windscreen wipers and exhaust. You should note that an MOT does not cover the condition of the engine, clutch and gearbox. Book you MOT at your nearest Stratstone Porsche retailer today.
